Am I really a grown up?

Today I got just one more indication that I am, officially, a grown up. My best friend from college (and former awesome roommate) is getting married. Today I got her invitation. Yep, it's official. People in my world are getting married. Are we really old enough to be doing that?

So besides my friends starting to join the marriage party, I also control when people pee. This is weird to me. It always has been. I look at the kids when I say "no, you can't go to the bathroom" and they turn around and just go sit down. Really? Really, I said no so you're not going to pee? That's weird.

I don't know, I'm almost 24, maybe I should get used to being an adult. It's just weird to look at these kids and feel like yesterday I was 13 and insecure and too tall and wanting to go to the bathroom.

About Me

When not teaching a hot mess full of kids how to be better people (and read and write), I'm busy playing with my puppy, talking with my hands and
generally drinking too much coffee. I love margaritas, craft projects, sarcasm and young adult literature. And Jesus. I probably should have mentioned him first, being that he's Jesus and all.
This crazy thing called teaching is just a stop along the way to... well, I haven't quite figured that out yet. But I'm open to suggestions.
